Cute Doodle Character Drawings

 
Cute little doodle drawings of little creatures.

Vince Okerman created all the sweet little figures you see on this page.

There is a lovely balance of form and whimsy in this post.  It's not a coincidence that we have a Yin and Yang sphere included on this page.

The little beings are being crammed together to form masses and the detailing in the forms you see below.  I will give you a quick example of what I mean:  If you have a look at drawing 4, you will see a lion.  The mane is not drawn as hairs. They take the form of elongated filaments full of different creatures.  The balloons in drawing 5 follow the same structure and so on.

One technique I have not seen before is the one adopted in drawing 6.  The top layer doodle colour sketch has a strip pulled away from it.  Below it, you see the equivalent design in black and white.  A very effective design effect.

I have two favourites here:  The first is of the hand drawing its own slipstream.  I like the toning down of the graphics as the characters morph into the hand.

The next is a seemingly simple one.  In this, the balloons seem to be held by a real hand.  I like how each balloon is emoting.  They are doing their best to convey their feelings through expressions.  The subtle is how Okerman has included transparency within them.  A touch that changes the dynamic of the image, for me.

How about you?  Which one/s do you feel gravitating towards?

Ps. I gave the images some titles.
